How big is our baby?

According to my weekly emails from Baby Center, our little baby is about the size of a kumquat!

I had no idea what that was....so I googled it. Look how cute! ;) I am 10 weeks pregnant today and oh, so thankful. It is very, very easy to get scared or worried, but our message at church on Sunday was about how God is bigger than our fears. And I really do believe that. And while I google kumquats, I certainly do not google "MTHFR" or anything else that could send me into a worrisome tailspin. :) I was 10 weeks "pregnant" the day I had my d&c over the summer, even though the baby stopped growing around 6 weeks. I just know God is protecting over this little one and he/she is growing big and strong! ....And I've got the all-day-queasies to show for it. ;)

"Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23

Welcome to my blog! This is the story of our Baby Sam. After 2 miscarriages and being diagnosed with MTHFR, we were overjoyed and excited to meet our baby boy on September 29th. He was diagnosed with at least 1 heart defect that should have required surgery after he was born. There were hundreds and hundreds of people praying for our sweet baby. On the day he was born, he had an echocardiogram of his heart -- and guess what? He's perfectly healthy!!! We will be forever grateful to God for our miracle baby.
